Kompani vs Doodle: getting past the date

Doodle is the fastest way to land on a day everyone can do. It's also exactly where the planning stops.

Doodle is very good at one thing: finding a time a group can agree on. Throw out some options, everyone ticks what works, the winner is obvious. For a lunch or a recurring call, it's perfect.

A trip isn't a meeting. Landing on a weekend is step one of about forty. Once the date's set you still have to pick a place everyone can afford, figure out who's paying for what, and keep the door code and the Saturday-dinner plan somewhere nobody loses it. Doodle hands you a date and waves goodbye.

Where they overlap

Kompani does the Doodle part too — a Works / Maybe / No grid across every candidate weekend, ranked by who can actually make it. It'll even read everyone's real calendars (free/busy only, never event details) and pre-fill the grid, so you're not chasing replies.

Where the trip actually goes

• The stay: shortlist places, see the per-person cost up front, vote, and veto with a reason.
• The money: log expenses, split them fairly across the group, and settle up in the fewest possible transfers — friend to friend, we never touch it.
• The ground game: house info, arrival times, and a day-by-day plan that reshapes itself as the trip gets closer.

Use Doodle to pick a time. Use Kompani when it's a trip.

There's no ad model here and no per-head fee for paying your friends back. If you're only ever scheduling a call, Doodle's your tool. If the date is the beginning and not the end, that's the whole reason Kompani exists.
